AT BEAUyIER, MISSISSIPPI.
The Continental Guards, of New Orleans,
Visit Jefferson Davis,

New ORLEANS, July 4.-The Continental
Guards, of this city, went on a picnic to
Beauvier, Miss, to-day, and in a body
called on Jefferson Davis. Captain browns
made an address. After referring to 'The
Day We Celebrate" he said: II men,
tion the fact that our membership
is composed of wearers Of the gray and the
blue to convey the idea that all past bitter
ness is buried again. Thanking you on
behalf of our members and the ladies &C.
companying rs, l would add that it is our
intention to picnic in your neighborhood,
and that we would be pleased to have
yourself and family join us"
Mr.. Davis replied to the following
effect: THE day is one which is full of
memories very dear to US. Your uniform
carries the mind back to the time when
principles set forth in the Declar-
alton of independence, the equality of
man and the right of people to govern
themselves. In other words, for the prin-
cipal that all powers of government
depend on the consent of The governed.
There principals our fathers main
tanned. Yours is a uniform that carries
Us back to times when our people
made sacrifices of blood and treasure for a
cause that was dear to them. My father
bore arms In that way. and my wife's
grandfather was also soldier of the Rsvo-
luton. Your uniform is, therefore, dear
TO the hearts of both Of Us. We may not
dwell upon the subject, yet we can not
avoid reminding ourselves that you
the men of this generation-through
four years of strife and sacrifice of blood
and treasure, sought to maintain the great
principles of the Declaration of Independ-
ence and the Constitution of the United
States. AS your captain has Justly said,
these fhInnQ fn q n nf
seek to revive them beyond pointing out
that you fought for the right, and let your
children remember that their fathers were
neither rebels nor traitors

Gas DriIlIng at Greencastle.

GREENcAsTLE, July 3.-The drilling at the
gas well near the Vandalia depot, on the
farm owned by Colonel ]. r. Mahan, is pro-
crossing rapidly, and with excellent pros
poets. Last night many of our enthusiastic
citizens remained there all night, expecting
that gas would be found at any moment.
The drill has been going through a soft
stone for several days. at midnight last
night it was down 1,050 feet, and it IS
thought that Trenton rock will be found
some time to-day. The company are con-
fident of finding gas. The men who are
operating the drill say that We are going
through about the same formations of
stone that were found at Terre Haute.

Editor Young again in Trouble.

Special TO the Sentinel.
DELPHI, Ind, July Samuel Young,
who last year owned and edited the Delphi
Journal, is again in trouble. An indict-
ment for forgery has been returned against
him, and he was this morning arrested and
compelled to give bond or go to Jail. His
men represent 100000. On SINH
lar charge Young was recently acquit-
ted IN White County, and it was supposed
this would settle the matter. This second
indictment looks very much like persecu-
cution, and public sympathy is very. strong
in favor of the accused.

The Celebration Marred at Terre Haute
6peciai 20 the Sentinel.


TERRE HAUTE, Ind, July 4.-The Fourth
of July celebration was somewhat marred
by the unw1se action of the committee in
bringing 6cbilllng Milwaukee Anarchist
as one of the speakers. The affair was in
charge of a committee of Knights of Labor
and the G.. A. r. The record of SchilIing,
which is that of Socialist and boycotter,
for which offense he has been indicted at
Milwaukee, was not generally known to-
day; in fact, it was not decided to have
him speak until the announcement was
made in the Alpha Union last Satur-
fns t6s Grand llGT%y ARMY this %es'ns morning H
resolutions were offered by Colonel r. n.
Hudson, and almost unanimously passed,
bitterly deDouncing the folly of selecting
an Anarchist to deliver patriotic speech,
and refusing to take part in the parade or
having anything to do with the celebra-
tion, if he was allowed to speak. Similar
resolutions were adopted by the police and
fire departments. The committee, headed
by NJ. G. Rankin, insisted on having him
speak, which he did this afternoon in the
presence OF large crowd, considering the
rain. He referred in his speech to the
Declaration of Independence as embody-
ing very good principles, but grew more
enthusiastic when referring to the princi-
Piles of the knights of Labor. His speech
was more in the nature OF labor harangue
than Fourth of July oration. The affair
has caused considerable excitement and
unfavorable comment, the committee in
charge being severely condemned.

SHELBYvILLE, Ind, July Ain spite of
the bad weather, a crowd estimated at 5000
people came here to-day 10 attend the
celebration. The band tournament was
held on the Public Square, commencing at
10 o'clock a. M, with the following entries:
Whlteland Band, of Whiteland, Ind;
the Greensburg Band, the Lebanon Qnd. }
Juvenile Band, and the Clarksburg
Ind., Reed Band. The first prize-$250-
was awarded to the Whiteland Band, who
scored 1873 out of possible 90. There
were no entries for the second prize, and
the third prize, $780, was awarded to the
Lebanon Juvenile Band, the Clarksburg
Band withdrawing and no score being
given. The Greensburg Band scored 1873
out of possible 80. After dinner the
sham-battle was held on the West Side.
The Johnny rebs' were commanded
by Major Alfred Clark, and the Union
boys by Brevet-Major ]. r. Clayton. The
affair was participated in by about 800
men. 1t was well managed, and very in
teresting to the large crowd who witnessed
it. In the evening Jake kilra1n and
Charlie Mitchell gave four.round spar
ring contest with six-ounce soft
gloves 10 a rather meager audience,
compared to what was expected. The
affair was rather tame, except in the third
round, when the men got warmed up and
somewhat in earnest. Some of the blows
taken and given would have been serious
bad it been bare-knuckle fight. Mitchell
was plainly overmatched both in reach
ard weight, but he demonstrated the fact
that he was very clever fighter. Kilrain
is a hard hitter and a great deal quicker
both with his hands and on his feet than
one would think to look at him. He strips
well, but he don't "show up" In the ring
like Mitchell does. Mitchell is every inch a
fighter from his head to his heels. The third
round was the best of the four, starting
in with some rattling punches, and wind
ing up with sharp 'in-fgh,jng." The
wind-up was good, Mitchsll getting IN
three cross-arm blows in one, two and
three order on Kilrain's "kisser,n and fin
ished with short-arm work.
Tonight, in spite of heavy showers, fire.
works were sent up in all directions, and
the small boy was in his glory.
